The Manager was extremely helpful and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The Motel was in easy walking distance to the Russell shops and wharf so we could just leave our car parked there. My Granddaughter loved the swimming pool. The only minor issue was the wardrobe was quite narrow so the clothes had to go in on an angle, but it wasn't that big of a problem as they could still hang up. We would definitely go back to stay there.

Quite adequate mid-range basic motel, clean and quiet but a bit far from the centre of the town without a car. No info on how to operate TV and no aircon, nor use of pool. Cooking facilities good and comfortable bed.

Now called The Captain's Motel. Really good value and very clean and crisp. Decor is lovely and bedding, towels etc were excellent. The 2 bedroom accomoatuon was very roomy for 4 females and all of our luggage. Highly recommend this as a place to stay. Wish it had been warmer so we could have enjoyed thd beautiful and lush pool area.
